7.4 Schedules A/B
Operational safety!
If you use schedules A and B, the advanced timing point should be linked to
schedule B (switch closure). If a wire ruptures, schedule A is automatically
selected with the retarded (and thus safer) timing point.
No digital input at P/N 06.00.513
The device type P/N 06.00.513 is designed as a replacement for the ignition
controller Caterpillar® 163-6164. Thus, the device does not have the digital
input (Switch A/B, Switch Start/Stop) as described in this operating manual.
With this device type, schedule A settings are applied solely for ignition
timing configuration.
The MIC500 ignition controllers offer two separate schedules with the following setting options:
– Timing limits
– Activating/deactivating the ignition timing adjustment via the analog input
– Activating/deactivating the speed curve
– Timing offset for schedule B
In order to use both schedules, the digital input must be set to the Switch A/B function (see
Select Function for Digital Input on page 87). If the digital input is closed, the ignition controller
uses the settings from schedule B. A possible application for this is e. g. operation with different
gases.
To configure the schedules, read the following sections:
– Set Ignition Timing Limits on page 93
– Activate Functions for Schedules A and B on page 89
– Set Timing Offset for Schedule B on page 95
